Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

First dip it in egg, then coat it with flour.

This step needs to be repeated 2 to 3 times.

Finally, coat both sides of the pork chop with breadcrumbs, using as much as possible!

……

Followed by.

Prepare a wok and heat it over high heat.

Insert chopsticks into the oil; if tiny bubbles slowly emerge, it means the oil temperature has reached over 160 degrees Celsius. Reduce the heat to low and start frying the pork cutlets.

Gently stir with chopsticks, and check the back occasionally. When the pork chop turns golden brown, flip it over.

Once both sides are the same color, you can take it out of the pan.

At last.

Cut into pieces while hot and plate!

Serve with lettuce and sauce.

"Senior, this is my newly improved version of Yukihira-ryu Japanese-style fried pork cutlet. Please try it!" Yukihira Soma then placed the hot fried pork cutlet in front of Isshiki Satoshi and said respectfully.

"Oh?"

"Your dipping sauce seems to be a slightly spicy soy sauce?"

Isshiki Satoshi squinted slightly, then stared intently at the tempting plate of fried pork cutlet, noticing that the dipping sauce used was not ordinary soy sauce.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

"Correct."

"This is hot sauce!"

Upon hearing this, Soma quickly explained: "The juice is made by boiling vegetables such as kelp, carrots, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers, and then adding spices such as pepper, dried tangerine peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, patchouli, and cassia bark and boiling it."

"Then, salt and sugar are added to make it."

The dipping sauce for Japanese tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) is a matter of personal preference.

Some people like to use soy sauce, some like tomato sauce, and some like mayonnaise. In short, it's a matter of personal preference, and there's no standard!

However, the hot sauce that Soma uses is more like an imported sauce-like condiment. Although it has many ingredients and a complicated preparation method, it should be very suitable for dipping fried pork cutlets.

"The sour, spicy, and pungent seasonings, with their unique and complex flavors, are indeed essential for fried pork chops and their accompaniments."

In the end, Isshiki Satoshi's eyes couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of admiration.

He didn't say another word after that.

Pick up your chopsticks.

Without thinking, I picked up a small piece of fried pork chop.

Then, under Soma's watchful gaze, he slowly put it into his mouth and began to chew it slowly.

……

Compared to eel rice.

The price of pork chop rice may be more affordable.

Not only are there many famous restaurants serving this dish, but almost every Japanese housewife is skilled at making it.

In addition, because the pronunciation of "katsu" in "katsudon" (pork cutlet rice bowl) is the same as "katsu" (victory), the Japanese people especially love to eat pork cutlet rice bowls the night before exams or competitions to boost morale.

To truly savor the authentic flavor of fried pork cutlet, the first bite should be eaten plain, without any sauce.

Because it's thick-cut, you have to open your mouth wider than usual. After taking a bite, you can't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's so crisp and tender!"

Just entered the mouth.

Crispy outer layer.

It immediately made a "crunching" sound in its mouth.

The pork is tender, and the fatty part at the tip is the most fragrant.

Although the whole pork chop was coated in breadcrumbs that had been fried thoroughly, it was surprisingly not greasy at all; the amount was just right and perfectly acceptable.

……

after that.

The second fried pork cutlet was dipped in spicy soy sauce.

Then, he carefully took another bite, which instantly made Isshiki Satoshi, the seventh seat of the Elite Ten, widen his eyes!

All I noticed was that the outer layer was crispy.

The pork chop inside is fried until it's juicy and tender, with excellent oil control.

I didn't feel any greasiness at all.

It has a wonderful aroma.

Dipping the pork cutlet in the sesame sauce personally ground by Soma Yukihira makes it even more playful.

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this spicy soy sauce has a fruity flavor in its sweet and sour taste, which is just right and doesn't overpower the pork chop.

Of course, the dipping sauce is secondary. The pork chop, as the main ingredient, is marinated in advance and has a salty and savory flavor. The oil from the fatty part will burst in your mouth, making it incredibly delicious.

The lean meat has a distinct pork texture, but it's not overly tough or dry.

In short.

The pork chop was excellent in every aspect!

……

"The most perfect place."

"It's the slightly pinkish part between the fat and lean meat; that's the most tender and flavorful."

"The pork chop itself seems to have been marinated, with a slightly salty and savory flavor, while the breadcrumbs are plump and satisfying with every bite. Paired with the spicy soy sauce, every bite is incredibly tempting!"

After saying that, Isshiki Satoshi seemed to realize something and shook his head.

"Soma."

"This is a Japanese-style fried pork cutlet dish."

"It seems... to be a different culinary style from the ramen you recently used to take Grandma Fumio's entrance exam, isn't it?"

At this point, Isshiki Satoshi fell silent for a moment.

Then, he asked Soma seriously, "Could it be that you're deliberately imitating someone else's cooking?"

……

"To be honest!"

"Senior, this is my new fried pork cutlet recipe, which I've improved upon based on my dad's recipe!"

Soshin, without concealment or pretense, answered truthfully and directly.

And listening to his explanation.

Isshiki Satoshi finally realized the truth.

Does a chef actually exist in this world who can eat a dish and quickly replicate it?

answer:

Have!

Similar to Kakashi from Naruto.

Erina, who possesses the talent of the God Tongue, and Mimasaka Subaru, who has excellent tracking abilities, both possess such abilities!

However, it may not be a 100% copy, but it is possible to imitate it to 80% or 90%. With your own soup base, sauces and cooking techniques, you can completely rival or even surpass the original dish.

Especially Erina, a world-class figure with solid culinary skills and a very sensitive sense of taste.

After all.

The ingredients, both main and side, are quite obvious.

The cooking methods are often quite straightforward, and you can usually taste the broth and sauce.

It's simply a matter of trying and failing at the details. There are very few chefs like this in the market, but they are definitely talented!

……

As the saying goes:

"The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

Everyone's comprehension and understanding abilities are actually different.

Some people like to follow the steps and memorize everything exactly as their master says, while others will add their own experience and creativity to the master's teachings!

Simultaneously.

The growth and selection of ingredients.
